    Patriots over Jets

    The Jets are 3-2 on the season and have already won more games then the New York 'scribes' predicted. New England is 3-2 as well but have been totally unimpressive so far going 1-4 against the 'opening' number and will the Jets seriously here. The Patriots defense has been among the worst in the NFL but now up against an offense like the grounded Jets they will prevail. Take NEW ENGLAND!

    Chargers vs. Raiders

    Chargers+3½ -124

    The Chargers snapped their 9-game losing streak, thanks to 3 touchdown passes from Rivers, and as bad as things are for L.A., he always seems to play well here. Even if they don't win, it's always close (with exception of a 10-point loss in 2013). Oakland QB, Carr will be out for another 1-5 weeks. Manuel last week was 13-of-26 for 159 yards (1 TD & no interceptions). But only 15 first downs & 245 yards just isn't going to make it, especially when compared to last year's Raider run. Just 12.3 points per game for the Raiders in their last 3 games. The visitor is 23-8 ATS in Charger games.

    PLAY ON San Francisco +11 over Washington, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET

    San Fran is 0-5 on the season but they are a very competitive 0-5 (3-2 ATS). Throw out their 23-3 loss to open the season vs Carolina and this Niner team has lost their other 4 games by a combined 11 points. They are not getting dominated on the stat sheet either as they are getting outgained by just 0.3 YPP and haven’t been outgained in a game by more than 70 yards this season. The Niner defense has held 4 of their 5 opponents to 23 points or less in regulation and if they can duplicate those numbers, it will make it very tough to cover this high pointspread. Washington is in a spot they simply are not used to being in. They have not been a double digit favorite since the 2009 season. Going back to 1993, the Redskins have been a favorite of 10 or more only 10 times and they are just 1-9 ATS in those games. They have lost outright in 6 of those 10 games. Too many points here. We like San Fran to keep it close.

    Play - Chicago Bears (Game 261).

    Edges - Bears: 7-1 ATS away after facing the Vikings; and 5-1 ATS away versus avenging AFC foes… Ravens: 0-6 ATS home between away games; and 0-5 ATS in its last five NFC contests… With the Bears owning the better offense and the better defense in this contest, we recommend a 1* play on Chicago. Thank you and good luck as always.

    Free Pick on Lions/Saints UNDER

    The books have set the total too high for Sunday's NFL action that has the Saints hosting the Lions. New Orleans is perceived to be one of the league's top scoring offenses, but the fact of the matter is, they have scored 20 or fewer points in 3 of their 4 games this season.

    I look for the Saints offense to struggle to reach that mark again, as they take on a vastly improved Detroit defense. So much attention is paid to New Orleans' passing attack, which is annually one of the best in the NFL, but like every other team they need some balance. The only game the Saints have eclipsed 20 points is against the Panthers, where they had 149 rushing yards. In the games where they failed to eclipse 20 points they have had fewer than 90 yards rushing. Good chance they struggle on the ground here, as the Lions own the leagues 3rd ranked run defense, giving up just 74.6 ypg (allowing just 3.3 yards/carry).

    I know the Saints defense has been awful in previous seasons and the numbers aren't great early on in 2017, but New Orleans has a lot of young talent on that side of the ball and been really good the last two games, holding the Panthers to just 13 points on the road and recording their first shutout in years in their last game against the Dolphins. With the way Detroit's offensive line has been struggling (allowed 12 sacks last 2 games) and the Saints coming off a bye, I look for the defense to hold their own here against Stafford and the Lions offense.

    UNDER is 7-3 in the Saints last 10 against a team with a winning record and 4-0 in their last 4 off a SU win by more than 14 points. UNDER is also 12-3 in the Lions last 15 road games against NFC opponents and a perfect 7-0 in their last 7 road games after playing in a game with 50 or more combined points. Take the UNDER!

    1 Unit FREE PLAY on Atlanta Falcons -12.5

    The Atlanta Falcons are the real deal again this season. They are 2nd in the NFL in yards per play on offense, and 6th in yards per play on defense. They are 1st in net yards per play, outgaining teams by 1.2 yards per play on the season. Those are the most important stats in the NFL to tell you about how good a team really is. Now the Falcons are coming off a bye week and hungry for a win after a fluke loss to the Bills going into the bye. The Dolphins are a mess right now, and if not for Matt Cassell starting for the Titans last week, and a missed FG by the Chargers, they would be 0-4. They lost 20-0 to the Saints in London and 20-6 to the Jets after scoring a TD on the final play of the game. I don't see how they stay within two touchdowns of Atlanta in this game. Give me the Falcons.

    Bears vs. Ravens

    Bears+6½

    I'm recommending a play on the Chicago Bears plus the points on Sunday. It takes a little something to drop a game off 7 and that's exactly what happened in this one and we agree with the move. The Baltimore Ravens have been horrible in the passing game and the defense hasn't been able to stop the run. That's not a good combination for a team laying this many points. Baltimore is a bit banged-up in the receiving corps. Jeremy Maclin (questionable) and Breshad Perriman (probable) may play, but both are nursing injuries. Joe Flacco has had just one interception-free game so far in 2017 and may not have his best targets for the entire contest. Flacco and company will face a stout Bears' defense that ranks 8th against the pass and 6th in total yards allowed per game. We also like the fact rookie QB Mitchell Trubisky should have a running game to keep the heat off. Chicago will face a Baltimore defense ranked 23rd against the run, allowing more than 123 yards rushing per game. We like the matchup advantages mentioned and we're recommending a play on the Bears plus the points. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

    10* FREE NFL PICK (Steelers +4.5)

    I would have to take the points with Pittsburgh in this one. The fact that Kansas City has started out 5-0 ATS and are the talk of the NFL right now, the public is lining up to take them. This line has been inflated because of that and thus the value here is with the Steelers.

    This is also an ideal spot to jump on the Steelers after that embarrassing loss to Jacksonville. Pittsburgh will be 100% locked in for this contest and have owned this series when Roethlisberger has been healthy. In fact, the Steelers are a perfect 6-0 against the Chiefs when Roethlisberger starts and finishes a game.

    Both of the meetings last year were pretty lopsided, even though the playoff game was decided by just a few points. The Steelers were up 36-0 in the regular season meeting before the Chiefs added a couple garbage touchdowns late. In the postseason meeting, the Chiefs somehow managed to hold the Steelers to 6 field goals, or that would have been a lot uglier final score.

    The biggest thing here is we don’t even need Pittsburgh to win the game outright. Chances are this is a back and forth game that could go either way in the 4th quarter. I’d much rather take my chances that the Steelers win outright or keep it with 4 points, than bank on KC winning by 5 or more.

    Pittsburgh is 13-6 ATS in their last 19 following a loss, an impressive 22-8-2 ATS in their last 32 road games against a team with a winning home record and a perfect 6-0 in their last 6 road games against a team that is allowing 4.5 or more yards/carry against the run. Give me the Steelers +4.5!

    Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Minnesota Vikings +3

    This line indicates that the Packers would be favored by roughly 6 points against the Minnesota Vikings on a neutral field. There's no way the Packers are 6 points better than the Vikings, so the value is on the home underdog here catching a field goal Sunday.

    And this is a huge statement game for the Vikings. They are 3-2 on the season while the Packers are 4-1, so they cannot afford a loss if they are serious about winning the division. They would essentially fall three games behind the Packers because of the tiebreaker with a loss. So you can bet that they will be putting their best foot forward here Sunday.

    The Packers are the flavor of the week right now after Aaron Rodgers' heroics in Dallas last week. But now he's up against a real defense in the Vikings, and the best defense he has faced all season. After all, the Vikings held this high-powered Packers offense to just 14 points in a home win last season.

    Minnesota comes in giving up just 18.6 points and 309 yards per game. And the offense has been pretty good under Case Keenum, especially last week against the Bears. Once Keenum replaced an injured Sam Bradford, the Vikings took off on offense. The Vikings scored 17 points in the second half to win the game. Keenum finished 17-of-21 passing for 140 yards and a touchdown against a good Bears defense that had shut down both Atlanta and Pittsburgh at home earlier this season.

    The Vikings have one of the more underrated home-field advantages in the NFL, especially in their new stadium. The Vikings are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 home games, including a sensational 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

    The Packers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Minnesota is 6-0 ATS off a win over a division opponent over the last three seasons. I think it's Minnesota that plays with a sense of urgency here, while Green Bay could have a letdown off its big win at Dallas last week. Bet the Vikings Sunday.

    1* Free Play Cleveland Browns.

    Cleveland is 0-5 and is most likely the worst team in the league. Houston has shown promise with DeShaun Watson under center, but the team took a major hit on the defensive side of the ball in last week’s heart-breaking loss at Kansas City, losing all pro defensive star JJ Watt for the rest of the season to injury. With their bye occuring next weekend before a game at Seattle, it’s also not too hard to imagine the home side looking past their lowly visitor today. DeShone Kizer is no DeShaun Watson, but note that Cleveland is 3-1 ATS in its last four after allowing 17 points or less in its previous contest. Looks like a few too many points, consider the BROWNS in this one.

    Preview: Bears at Ravens
    Gracenote
    Oct 12, 2017

    The Chicago Bears began the Mitchell Trubisky era at quarterback last week and it was not without its bumps. Trubisky will try to earn his first win under center when the Bears visit the banged-up Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

    Trubisky went 12-of-25 for 128 yards, one touchdown, one interception and one fumble in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings but impressed his teammates. "This kid's going to be special and we've got to do our jobs around him, keep getting in the right spot, make plays and catch the football, and making sure we're keeping him out of first-and-17s," Chicago offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains told reporters. "We have a lot of faith and confidence in Mitchell." Baltimore had its season derailed by injuries last year and is hoping to avoid the same thing in 2017, but the team is already on its third starting right guard and has seen injuries at all three spots on the interior line. The patchwork line managed to not allow a sack in a 30-17 win at Oakland last week while opening up enough holes for Javorius Allen to rush for 73 yards and a score.

    TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Ravens -6. O/U: 39.5

    ABOUT THE BEARS (1-4): Trubisky is tasked with improving an offense that enters the week 30th in the NFL in scoring average at 15.6 points, and his ability to extend plays with his mobility is a key. "I think extending plays is part of my game, and I think we're going to need that and I think it helps," Trubisky told reporters. "So I've just got to learn when I'm extending plays that it's a for-sure completion or when I just need to eat it and play the next play. It's just part of the learning process." Trubisky could also use more help from a wide receiver group that added a new piece this week with rookie Tanner Gentry being promoted off the practice squad.

    ABOUT THE RAVENS (3-2): Baltimore saw big improvements on both sides of the ball last week after suffering back-to-back losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers by a combined 70-16 in the previous two games. The defense could get even better this week if defensive tackle Brandon Williams, who sat out the last three games with a foot injury, is able to return, and he hinted on Twitter that he will be back soon. Quarterback Joe Flacco enjoyed his first interception-free game of the season at Oakland but could be short on weapons this week with wide receivers Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) and Breshad Perriman (knee) both limited in practice.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Bears LB Willie Young (triceps) was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.

    2. Baltimore RB Terrance West (calf) sat out practice this week and is doubtful.

    3. Chicago LB Danny Trevathan will return after serving a one-game suspension for a hit on Green Bay WR Davante Adams.

    PREDICTION: Ravens 24, Bears 17

    Preview: Packers at Vikings
    Gracenote
    Oct 13, 2017

    Aaron Rodgers has done a masterful job masking what ails the Green Bay Packers, as the two-time NFL MVP continues to throw touchdowns passes despite several moving parts in the offensive line and backfield. Rodgers may see the return of several key cogs as the Packers vie for their fourth straight victory on Sunday when they visit the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

    Rodgers earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after he capped a three-touchdown performance with a 12-yard scoring strike to Davante Adams in last week's 35-31 come-from-behind victory at Dallas. Under Rodgers' watch, Green Bay ranks fourth in the NFL in points scored (26.2), third in third-down conversions (48.4 percent) and first in red zone efficiency (78.9 percent). While Rodgers has been at ease under center since replacing Brett Favre nearly a decade ago, Minnesota has seen a revolving door at quarterback of late as Case Keenum likely will be under center with Sam Bradford sitting out practice this week after aggravating his knee injury in Monday's 20-17 win at Chicago. Keenum completed 17 of 21 passes for just 140 yards in relief last week and likely will make his fourth start of the season on Sunday.

    TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Packers -3. O/U: 46.5

    ABOUT THE PACKERS (4-1): While Rodgers has a firm handle on the passing game, Aaron Jones kept his nerves in check by rushing for 125 yards on 19 carries in his first NFL start in place of fellow running back Ty Montgomery. The 24-year-old Montgomery reported no ill effects after absorbing hits during practice while wearing a flak jacket to protect his multiple broken ribs sustained in a Sept. 28 game against Chicago. "I played with one in high school. It's very normal. A flak jacket is pretty normal. It's not in the way or anything." Green Bay's 22nd-ranked rushing attack could see a boost with the potential returns of left tackle David Bakhtiari (hamstring) and right tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle), who were both listed as limited participants in Thursday's practice.

    ABOUT THE VIKINGS (3-2): Minnesota doesn't just have questions under center as wideout Stefon Diggs (NFC-leading 395 receiving yards) sat out practice this week with a groin injury, leaving his availability to face Green Bay in question. Diggs found the end zone in both games versus the Packers last season and rolled up 20 receptions for 364 yards and four touchdowns in his last three home contests overall. Latavius Murray (31 yards) failed to light a spark in a starting role after impressive rookie Dalvin Cook was lost for the season with a torn ACL, but fellow running back Jerick McKinnon totaled 146 scrimmage yards (95 rushing, 51 receiving) and added a touchdown last week.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Minnesota DE Everson Griffen has recorded at least one sack in all five games this season, tying a career-long streak.

    2. Packers WR Jordy Nelson collected 14 receptions for 227 yards and three touchdowns in two contests last season versus the Vikings.

    3. Minnesota defense leads NFL in third downs, allowing a conversion rate of 25.5 percent.

    Preview: Dolphins at Falcons

    Oct 13, 2017

    The Atlanta Falcons spent their bye week licking their wounds after sustaining significant injuries as well as perhaps a bruised ego on the heels of their first loss of the season. Matt Ryan looks to rebound from a three-turnover performance in that encounter as the Falcons aim to return to their winning ways on Sunday when they host the Miami Dolphins at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    "I think it will start to go our way. We've just got to keep working at it." said Ryan, who has thrown five interceptions and lost a fumble in 2017 on the heels of an NFL MVP performance last year. Ryan received good news as Atlanta attempted to heal itself after a 23-17 loss to Buffalo on Oct. 1, with four-time Pro Bowl selection Julio Jones declaring himself all systems go following a hip injury. While the Falcons are aiming to fine-tune its high-octane offense that has dropped from an NFL-best 33.8 points per game last season to "just" 26 this season, the Dolphins enter Sunday's tilt with a 32nd-ranked offense that has scored just one meaningful touchdown in the last 13 quarters. The Miami fans openly called for backup Matt Moore to replace Jay Cutler as the starting quarterback during the Dolphins' 16-10 win over Tennessee last week, but coach Adam Gase said the decision will not be based on a "public poll."

    TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Falcons -13. O/U: 46

    ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (2-2): Miami's offense encountered a much different problem earlier this week as offensive line coach Chris Foerster resigned after a video surfaced on social media showing him snorting an unknown white powder substance off a table while at work. The Dolphins hired former Miami offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo as a special offensive assistant, and he'll be tasked with attempting to provide a spark on a team that has no rushing touchdowns this season. Running back Jay Ajayi is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry for the Dolphins, who are dead last in the league in total offense (231.3 yards) and scoring (10.3 points).

    ABOUT THE FALCONS (3-1): Dan Quinn sounded like a kid at a candy store when telling reporters that "We're a lot better off injury-wise. We had a lot of guys back (at practice). Man, that was good to see. The bye hit us at the right time in terms of injuries." Pass rusher Vic Beasley, who led the league with 15.5 sacks last year, is poised to return from a hamstring injury, defensive tackle Courtney Upshall (ankle/knee), strong safety Keanu Neal (hand) and kicker Matt Bryant (back) are likely to play on Sunday and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hamstring) said he's making strides as well. Running back Devonta Freeman, who played for Miami Central High, has found the end zone in every game this season and has 13 scores in his last seven home contests.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Ryan has thrown a touchdown pass in 23 consecutive games, which accounts for the NFL's longest active streak.

    2. Miami LB Kiko Alonso, who has a team-best 28 tackles, forced a fumble and registered a sack last week.

    3. Atlanta LB Reshad Jones, who leads the team with 27 tackles, recovered two fumbles, had one sack and scored a touchdown in the last game versus the Bills.

    PREDICTION: Falcons 34, Dolphins 10
